"Many had the passion, perseverance, and commitment to drive far-reaching changes in society. Some of the fiercest and most fearless voices against injustice were of women. In this day and age, there is no reason whatsoever to deny women meaningful opportunities in public life," he said.

Congratulating the leaders and members for "building the organisation brick by brick", he said that AIMC has been a fearless voice for justice and has firmly established itself as the most active frontal organisation of the Congress. He congratulated AIMC on the launch of the nationwide online membership drive for the first time.

"I am happy to know that the membership drive will be followed by a pan-India leadership training programme," he said "I hope the AIMC continues to work towards ensuring greater political participation of women across caste, class, and religious lines. Lastly, I salute your dedication to a cause greater than yourself, and wish the AIMC the best in its future endeavours," the Congress MP said.
